Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape
Through a collection of essays, poetry and newly commissioned artwork, Widening the Lens aims to ignite renewed ecological awareness through visual representations of the environment that reveal underlying socio-political processes. The publication includes an introduction by Dan Leers, curator of photography, Carnegie Museum of Art; an essay by curator, writer & activist Lucy R. Lippard; new work from poet Saretta Morgan; and an epilogue by journalist Michelle Nijhuis. How has humanity’s relationship with the land been documented by, and altered through, photography? How has the ever-increasing pace of image-making changed the environment and human ecology? These are the driving questions of Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, a publication inspired by a generation of contemporary artists who have endeavoured to chart the past, present and potential futures of photography and the landscape.
236 pages, 29.2 x 21 cm, paperback, Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh).
